no one heard back yet besides one person? shoot, i'm starting to get worried hopefully we all hear back by tomorrow
I just got an e-mail telling me to complete my secondary application...
It was marked complete in September and still shows as complete on the website😕
So I e-mail back and get an automated response, I think I may have a much slimmer chance thanks to some clerical errors. Thanks rush👍

ehh, same thing happened to me, and i was invited to interview (and withdrew my application pre-interview)...i'm sure this was probably sent in errorsame happened to me...im wondering if this means they never looked at my app...

I received the same email as well. I am ignoring it as my status page says my application was marked as complete like 2 months ago.
I just got the same thing! I was complete 10/9... should I try calling them or just assume that the e-mail was a mass-error?I received the same email as well. I am ignoring it as my status page says my application was marked as complete like 2 months ago.
I got it too. Sadly, that's the most action my inbox has seen in the last couple months...
I didn't get the email and I was complete around the same time as you (9/17 to be exact) I hate it when this happens. Now I guess I'll obsessively speculate as to why I didn't get it and you guys did.
Ugh... this process sucks.

I hate to keep this thing going... but if it went out to everyone, why didn't I get one? I have not interviewed but have been complete for a few months yet did not receive this email. Anyone else in my position?

Jill said that at least it wasn't as bad as a few years ago . . . when the system accidentally sent out INVITES to every single applicant!
anyway, i just interviewed and i really, really loved it there. if they accept me, i am 99% sure thats where i will go. come on, Rush!
(i am dreading the long wait . . . but they kept saying a long wait doesn't equal bad news, just interviewers who are slow to turn in your eval) 🙂

It's weird the evals take so long for Rush. Most schools I've interviewed had the evaluations in on the same day of the interview. Any longer and I would think the interviewers would have forgotten the details of the interview.
I talked to my friend whose brother is on the Admissions Committee, and they said they went through my application/interview 2-3 days after my interview... Which means they made a decision at that time too, so the hold up seems to be in sending those decisions out, which doesn't make sense because it's electronic...

FACT: i called this morning and talked to an admissions representative. she told me decisions were made for some of us and sent out very recently.
OPINION: you know, it's quite possible we all just happened to be put on hold, because so far only acceptances have gone out. and maybe the guys who got accepted just happen to not be on SDN. i hope you guys have other options lined up
im so upset 🙁
Shoot, are you in the 11/11 interview group? Is that the group you asked about?
i don't think there is any reason to get too worried yet medkid!! i mean there are bound to be more acceptance posts on SDN, we can't ALL be put on hold, esp. since we all interviewed so early in the game. Also, Jill said we'd hear about waitlist and rejections within 3-6 weeks, so no news is good news so far! With that bogus email they sent out yesterday, I think hound is right, they're behind on sending stuff out, prob. overwhelmed w/ apps.

can someone please call and see what's going on with post interview decisions? here's their info from aamc.org
Rush Medical College
Office of Admissions
524 Academic Facility
600 South Paulina Street
Chicago, IL 60612
Phone: (312) 942-6913 [Unlisted]
I just called... The receptionist said a 4 week minimum, and also with the Thanksgiving holiday, it may have thrown things off. She estimated mine to come two-three weeks from now (I interviewed on the 11th)

thanks for calling!! that's a relief, knowing that they are behind and its not due to being on hold.
Is there anyone besides me on here that has been complete since late august and still haven't heard about an interview? I can't figure out why I haven't gotten a consideration after being complete so early!
Also, I talked to a nice lady with admissions that told me they have had about 6 interview days so far and plan to have about 14 more. So, I know its shouldn't be freakin out but I still want some love from RUSH.

Complete silence from August 5th. Not concerned, I am glad they carefully consider everyone!
